THE FOUNDING OF THE PEOPLE'S CHURCH
AND ITS EARLY HISTORY

The People's Church of Christ of New Britain
was org-anized by Pastor Hezekiah Davis on Janu-
ary 31st, 1888, with a charter membership of thirty-
three. He remained its pastor until his death,
which occurred on January 16th, 1900.

After serving; his country as a soldier in the Civil
war, Hezekiah Davis prepared for the ministry and
became pastor of churches of both the Methodist
and Advent denominations. He was a man of
strono' and winning- personality, with a vision that
prompted him to attempt great things for God and
to expect great things from God.

During a long ministry he both lived and
preached the Gospel that he knew so well to be the
Power of God unto salvation.

Early in his ministry he sometimes confessed to
friends that he felt the Lord might lead him to a
mission outside denominational lines for he felt
the call to a freer ministry.

He loved to magnify the love and power of an all
sufficient Christ and to preach the full four fold
Gospel of the New Testament.

In his later ministry he was much used in pray-
ing for the sick.

The truth of the premillinnial coming of Christ
also became more and more precious to him and
this truth he loved to preach, as the blessed hope
of the church.

It was not natural for Hezekiah Davis to choose
a ministry that would promise ease or a large sal-
ary. He sought rather the hard and difficult tasks.
Two openings came to him; one to a church offer-
ing a comfortable salary with a furnished parson-
age, the other to a small and struggling mission in
Southington.

Without hesitation he chose the latter and was
much used in connection with this work.

From Southington he came to New Britain and
here in answer to what he believed the Spirit's call,
came out from denominational alliance to establish
an independent church. The result was the forma-
tion of the People's Church of Christ.

The creed of the new church was "The Word of
God." While the church stood for the full four fold
Gospel, provision was made whereby those who de-
sired to unite for Christian service but who could
not fully subscribe to all the Articles of Faith,
might be entitled to all privileges of membership
except voting on business matters.

A few of the first meetings of the church were
held in Grand Army Hall, then in Berkley Hall, and
from there it moved to a building on Arch street
that had been the home of the first Methodist so-
ciety.

On July 5th, 1889, the first meeting was held in
the new Arch street home and here the church
continued to worship until July, 1898, when the
present edifice was occupied. The trustees had pur-
chased a lot on Court street, but before plans were

matured for the erection of a new building, the
Universalist Society vacated their house of worship
and this was at first leased and afterward pur-
chased for the sum of $7,500.

Mention should be made of Pastor Davis' minis-
try in other places, for he was an evangelist and
teacher whose services were sought by different
groups of people who were interested in the deeper
spiritual truths. Rev. L. S. Johnson, always a
staunch friend of the church, once introduced him
in public as Rev. Hezekiah Davis of the People's
church, whose parish extended from New Hamp-
shire to Pennsylvania and incidentally over into
Africa.

Soon after the formation of the church and while
still occupying the Arch street building, the first
foreign missionary, Mr. F. W. Kreiger, was sent
out to Africa. After a short training at the mis-
sionary school of the Christian and Missionary
Alliance in New York City, he was sent out as as-
sistant superintendent of the Africa Inland Mission
that had been organized by Peter Cameron Scott.

The church thus early began its missionary work
which grew with passing years until eighteen mis-
sionaries had gone from it to carry the Gospel to
heathen lands. '

Pastor Davis was early associated with Rev. F.
K. Hawley and Rev. William P. Ray in the prosecu-
tion of missionary interests and a society was
formed called the Christian Unity, with headquar-
ters and a training school at Hawleyville, Conn.

This society was later changed to the Gospel Mis-
sionary Society and headquarters removed to New
Britain, and our present missionary work is con-
ducted under this organization.

The missionary work of the church at present
centers in British East Africa, where two central
stations are in operation. One at Kambui and one
at Ngenda. These stations are under the faithful
care of Dr. and Mrs. John E. Henderson and Rev.
and Mrs, William P. Knapp, assisted by Miss Mary
M. Gamertsfelder.

At each station there is a chapel, school and hos-
pital and as a result of the Christian training given,
eight out-staations have been established which are
under the care of Christian native teachers.

The People's Church was founded with two def-
inite lines of work before it. First to offer the
Gospel to those in our midst who were indifferent
to its claims, and then to send it to lands where
even the name of Jesus was unknown.

Thus it became an evangelistic and a missionary
church and has so continued to the present time.

For a like spirit of consecration and devotion to
the Master and for the Holy Spirit's continued and
gracious leadings both the pastor and the people
pray.

HELPFUL HINTS

This directory affords your pastor the opportunity
of sending- you Christian greeting, and a few simple
suggestions which he believes will prove a blessing
to the work in which we are engaged.

1. Let us by the aid of the Holy Spirit walk in
Christian love, working together for the upbuilding
of the cause of Christ.

2. Seek to promote the spirituality of the church;
to sustain its worship, ordinances and discipline.

3. If it rains or snows others may be absent,
therefore make a special effort to be present.

4. One person cannot make a church, but when
many combine, then the organized church becomes
an accomplished fact.

5. Remember there is a prayer-meeting each
week, you need it, it needs you.

6. By itself your testimony may seem to accom-
plish but little, hut when given with others, together
they make a volume of praise. A testimony should
be personal, clear, simple, brief and direct,

7. Your influence linked with that of others be-
comes an irresistable force for good.

8. The officials, teachers and pastor will be helped
more by an encouraging- word than by criticism.
Ability is shown by the way you help, not by fault
finding.

9. In company with another seek those who are
in need of assistance or an encouraging word. Invite
them personally to attend the service, perhaps you
can bring them. Some of the best Christian workers
were brought to Christ in this way.

10. Be a helper by giving, contribute cheerfully
and regularly to the support of the church. You
may not be able to attend every service, but when
your offering is withheld remember that there is
just that much less in the treasury.

11. Connected with the church are many avenues
for Christian service, there is something for you
to do.

12. Pray for each member of the church, make
some unconverted soul a special subject for daily
prayer. Maintain family worship, give to the chil-
dren spiritual instruction. Be simple, practical,
sympathetic and Christ-like.

13. Never insist in having your own way against
the majority, and never insist on over-riding a min-
ority with careless indifference.

14. No department of the church is of greater
importance than the Sunday School, and no member
or friend of the church can afford to neglect its
privileges and opportunities.

15. Our young people are worthy of all the as-
sistance you can give them.

16. There is one peculiar feature of our work,
its missionary interests. We have missionaries to
support, stations to maintain and native helpers to
provide for. These are the urgent calls from afar.
Let us respond with prayer and generous giving.
